Played condor in Three Days of the Condor?

Is there any way to chase a group of American black vultures off your property?
There is a way. But it depends on how many vultures. If you have a dog, you can get it to run at the vultures. But if they are always n yor yard, there must be a nest, or a carcus, nearby. Try to find the carcus, if there is one, and remove it. If thre is a nest (and you dont want to kill the babies) you can barely do anything without killing them.
It also depends on how frequent they are on your lawn.
But, try not to run at them. It also may not be safe for your dog too. Black vultures are more aggressive then turkey vultures.
Try finding a big fake dog, and put it in the center of where the vultures are. Make sure it is strong, for if it falls over, it may seem like food to them. Change the position everyday.
(please ONLY do this if you have to, if they havent left after about two months) You may have to call in somebody, to catch them and release them somewhere else. It may be bad for if they have eggs. If so, after they have left, bring the eggs to a wildlife rescue center. There they would care for the eggs.
You can try these methods. They can work, so try them.
A buzzard can fly approximately 25 miles per hour. The wing span of the buzzard is approximately 48 to 60 inches.
Generally vultures have no predators, Vultures have a defence mechanism, where they regurgitate their food ( which has a most foul smell ) when faced with danger, sending predators off in a hurry whilst enabling the vulture to fly with less weight on board. Having said that, when the vulture has taken off, whilst it is gaining height some large cats ( such as lions ) will jump and try to grab the vulture.
What other animals eat dead vultures?
Ants would probably eat it, and maybe other vultures would give a peck or two if they are hungry enough...
Who is stronger lammergeier or condor?
If the two species were to get into a fight, the lammergeier/bearded vulture would probably win.
Lammergeiers are old world vultures and more closely related to eagles and hawks. They have stronger feet than new world vultures (like the California Condor) to carry large pieces of bones high into the air and are also more protected due to the feathers on their heads.
New world vultures like the Condor are more related to storks. They have weaker feet, not meant for grasping, and can often fall prey to stronger raptors such as eagles.
